Do you remember the command kasaq?

Quote from kszaq

and the last command is something I don't remember now...

Noooo. Don't leave me hanging :O

Is it just not detecting the system partition? because the terminal shows various other files from within the boot partition.

Also, is there a way to make it boot from a USB stick from the terminal? I don't have any smaller microSDs, but I do have a 4GB USB stick that I could try if I could figure out how to get it to boot from USB. (The onboard bootloader installed into the device already seems to be refusing to boot from USB)

Thanks for the reply

Just tried all 3 images from your post, same issue, but now it says "could not mount /dev/mmcblk0p1" instead of "LABEL=LIBREELEC"

Edit: when I do ls /dev there are devices called mmcblk0, mmcblk0boot0 and mmcblkboot1 but I'm not sure if those are relevant

Edit 2: I'm using the .img and the libreelec copy tool for Mac to copy to a Lexar 32GB class 10 micro SDHC

BACKGROUND:

My neighbour gave me an old inphic spot i5 running an ancient custom build of android. This is a totally unsupported and pretty unknown device. I know it has an Amlogic s805 inside. All OEM images no longer exist on the internet (lord knows I've checked) so I figured that I might be able to boot it with another s805 image.

I wanted to try getting it up to date, but it was totally locked down, but I was able to use a m201 OTA update, as well as side loading superSU, but I want to flash libreelec into it - something that is proving challenging.

NOW:

After much trial and error I have gotten libreelec copied onto a microSD and sitting inside the box

the images I used were the s805 ones from this thread Linux for Amlogic S805 - FreakTab.com

I boot into it, and I get the message

*** Error in mount_flash: mount_common: Could not mount LABEL=LIBREELEC ***
### Starting debugging shell... type exit to quit ###
sh: can't access tty; job control turned off

I've seen other threads where the name of the partition was wrong, but in this case it's called LIBREELEC.

Please help
